1. Put a wide cast-iron frying pan over a medium heat. Meanwhile, divide the mince into 4 equal balls. Flatten the balls slightly to make them into thick pucks.
2. Shred the onions and heap into the pan. Fry for 5 mins then put the pucks in the frying pan, smash the pucks into thin patties, pressing down hard and getting them as thin as possible.
3. Season liberally with salt and pepper and cook for 2 minutes, pressing the patties back down if they start to rise in the centre.
4. Use a metal spatula to scrape the patties off the pan and flip them, then lay a slice of cheese on top of each one. Cook for another 2 minutes, then scrape them up and set aside.
5. Spread both cut sides of the buns with sauce, then put 2 patties on each bun base, cheese-side up. Top with the sliced gherkin, put the lid on top and wrap the burgers in foil.
6. Leave for a few minutes, then unwrap and enjoy.
